C>>The ONLY way in which you can equate a person to a state or process is figuratively/metaphorically.<<

K>> Unless the state and the process is complete and the person has reached the object of the process.  It is also more probable that God started out as love and did not need a process to be in that staqte.

States can be reduced to adjectival phrases, and therefore perform like adjectives. Consider, for instance, whether "God is love" is not the same kind of statement as "The ball is red". There is no equivalence between "ball" and "red"; other things can be red, other things can be balls.

A process which has "reached it's objective" has ended, and is no longer a process (or, indeed, anything).

Love is not a "thing". In the sense that a person is a "thing", God is a "thing". There cannot be direct equivalence.

Love is also intrinsically a relationship. I'm wholly unconvinced that the concept of love in the absence of relationship has any meaning, so would question whether "God is love" can have meaning independently of there being something other than God which could be related to.

Anna who believes in the attributes of God.]]]]

Have you ever read Genesis I and substituted Love for God?

"In the beginning Love created the heaven and the earth."  Helps me to understand God and Love better. 

Such as these ones? <<<

Or these, ones?

The Attributes of God

yes! Exactly  thanks. <<<

You're most welcome...
I like the Names of God also...you will also notice many of the names are His Attributes.

This is the same in Islam, too.<<<

Quite a similar history to boot...

I often wonder why Islam is not considered to be one of the Judeo-Christian religions. It is supposedly based on Judaism and is newer than Christianity.

All generalizations are false, including this one..

The method of "postulating" what we want has many advantages; 
they are the same as the advantages of theft over honest toil.
